Reference Photo Tips
I understand that many portraits are memorials and it is often difficult to find high quality reference photos. While i can work from lower resolution images please understand that your portrait may be less detailed. The better the photo the better the artwork! Feel free to send multiple photo options if you have them available and i will work with you to get the best possible results.
Below are a few guidelines on what makes a good reference photo:
Take the photo of the subject at eye level
Ensure the eyes are visible with clear reflections
Ensure you are close but not too close to your subject
Ensure the shot is clear without obstruction
Ensure the image, particularly the subjects face is in focus and the details are clear
Take the photo in natural lighting
